"Wrapping Up with the Trial of SpongeBob!
To close out our argumentative writing unit and the school year, we held our annual Trial of SpongeBob—a student favorite! The class was split into prosecution and defense teams, each working with the same set of evidence to build and present their case. Students took on the roles of attorneys, showcasing their persuasive writing and critical thinking skills in action. (I'd like to add that Deputy Thompson acted as our court bailiff and brings her courtroom knowledge and experience to offer feedback for the students!) Our admin team served as judges, making the final call on SpongeBob’s fate. This engaging and collaborative activity is always a hit and a great way to end the year on a high note!"
This is a favorite tradition at ILIS. If you have older kiddos who roamed these halls in the last 4 years, see if they remember doing it!

The social media office person got a late night text reading: "I know you don't want to hear from me this late but my kids are doing the coolest stuff!"
You know what, Ms. Kiel? They ARE doing cool stuff- and we are sorry it took us a minute to share! But here we are on a Throwback Thursday getting this end-of-May content out there.
She writes, "End of the year in Mrs Kiel’s Science class students were tasked to get in groups, research something they always wanted to do and make it happen. They had to create it
In class and share the Science behind it!
We have been having the best time!!"
It looks like you sure were, Ms. Kiel. 💙 Can't wait to share all the amazing things you guys accomplish next year!











Ms. Purcaro's 6th Grade Science class found a great way to let loose after testing! She writes, "We made board games after state testing. They chose science topic we studied this year and used the engineering process to plan their games!"
Thanks for sharing, Ms. Purcaro!







(Pst... maaaaany more photos on Facebook!)
Our band has grown so much under Ms. Riddle and Ms. Gavigan’s leadership. If you were lucky enough to attend both the Winter AND Spring concerts, it’s truly incredible to hear how much these students have learned. Our students had their concert on May 20th. Here are some photos from that magical night!
